Theatre News: Sienna Miller to Join ‘Cabaret,’ Plus ‘The Last Ship’, ‘Disgraced’ and ‘The Flick’

> Emma Stone will extend her stint as Sally Bowles in Cabaret at Studio 54 for two additional weeks through February 15, and Sienna Miller will take over the role for the musical’s final six weeks of performances through March 29, Roundabout Theatre Company announced this week. The current Broadway revival starring Alan Cumming, which opened in March 2014, is a remounting of Roundabout’s Tony-winning 1998 production, in which Cumming also starred opposite Natasha Richardson.

Sting> Sting’s musical The Last Ship, about a struggling shipyard on the British coast, will close January 24 at the Neil Simon Theatre, producers announced on Monday. The show, featuring an original score by Sting, book by Tony-winners John Logan (Red) and Brian Yorkey (Next to Normal) and direction by Joe Mantello (Wicked), opened in October to mixed reviews and has struggled to stay afloat. Sting stepped into a featured role for six weeks beginning December 9 in hopes of igniting audience interest in the show. But despite a surge at the box office during his run, a sharp drop-off in advance ticket sales after his scheduled exit prompted the producers’ decision to shutter the new musical after just four months.   

> Ayad Akhtar’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play Disgraced will play its final performance at the Lyceum Theatre on March 1, producers announced this week. Directed by Kimberly Senior and starring Hari Dhillon, Gretchen Mol, Josh Radnor and Karen Pittman, the explosive drama exploring faith, race, art and politics transferred to Broadway in October after an acclaimed run Off Broadway at Lincoln Center in 2012.  

Flick051rSc> Annie Baker’s The Flick, another Pulitzer Prize winner, will come back to the New York stage this spring at the Barrow Street Theatre. Originally produced by Playwrights Horizons in 2013, the play about a hapless trio of indie Cineplex employees returns for a commercial Off-Broadway run produced by Scott Rudin. The original creative team, including the full cast and director Sam Gold will remount the production.
